Kingston Police lay charges after break and enter

Police have laid charges after a less-than-profitable break and enter to the old Alcan building on Wednesday.

A Kingston Police news release says a man was captured on surveillance cameras climbing over a wall to enter the manufacturing area at Sir John A MacDonald Boulevard and Princess Street on about 4:30 p.m. Police say the man gained access to one building where he searched thoroughly for valuable property, but only made off with two items worth less than $30 combined.

The investigating officer recognized the accused from the video and he was arrested on Thursday afternoon while walking on Fraser Street.

A 45-year-old local has been charged by police with break and enter and theft. He spent the night in police custody to attend bail court on Friday.
